The Brothers Four - I Am A Roving Gambler lyrics

I am a rovin' gambler-- I've gambled all around-- And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, I lay my money down, Lay my money down, I lay my money down. I've gambled down in Washington, Ga-ambled up in Maine; I'm headed down to Tenessee-ee-ee To knock down my last game, Knock down my last game, To knock down my last game. I had not been in Washington Many more weeks than three, When I fell in love with a pretty little ga-a-al, And she fell in love with me, Fell in love with me, She fell in love with me. She took me to her parlor; She cooled me with her fan; She whispered in her mother's e-e-ear, "I love that gamblin' man, Love that gamblin' man, I love that gamblin' man. "I wouldn't marry a railroad man; This is the reason why: I've never seen a railroad ma-a-an Wouldn't tell his wife a lie, Tell his wife a lie, Wouldn't tell his wife a lie. "Oh, Mother, oh dear Mother, I'll tell you if I can: If you ever see me comin' ba-a-ack, It'll be with a gamblin' man, Be with a gamblin' man, It'll be with a gamblin' man." I am a rovin' gambler-- I've gambled all around-- And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, I lay my money down, Lay my money down, I lay my money down. And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards, I lay my money down, Lay my money down, Lay my money down.
